How ordering works

Cart, checkout reservation, and payment

Adding to cart does not reserve stock. A successful checkout performs a live-stock check and reserves the available cards/products for 15 minutes while payment is completed.

CartShopping list only. Another customer may have the same one-copy card in their cart.
CheckoutThe server checks live inventory atomically. If available, the order is created and those items are reserved immediately.
15-minute holdComplete payment and submit the payment reference before the countdown ends.
Payment submittedThe reservation stays secured while Mana Source verifies the payment reference.
Expired reservationIf no payment is submitted before the timer ends, the order expires and the reserved stock returns automatically.
Repeated unpaid holdsThree unpaid expired reservations within 24 hours trigger a 24-hour checkout restriction. Store-caused cancellations, refunds, and verified/submitted payments do not count.
Order priority: the first checkout that successfully reserves the live inventory gets the available copy. Cart position alone does not reserve stock.
Fulfillment

Shipping & rider arrangements

Checkout is intentionally fast: you pay for the order first, then shipping or rider details are coordinated directly with Mana Source MTG through Facebook Messenger.

LBC

After payment is submitted/verified, message Mana Source with your order number. We will confirm the recipient details, preferred LBC service, and additional shipping fee in Messenger.

Lalamove / rider

Wait until Mana Source confirms the order is ready. Rider booking, pickup details, and any instructions are coordinated in Messenger.

Shipping is not included in the card subtotal unless Mana Source explicitly confirms otherwise. Do not book a rider until the order is ready.
Upcoming releases

Preorder guide

Every preorder should clearly distinguish guaranteed stock from distributor-dependent allocation.

Full-payment preorderThe complete preorder price is paid when the order is secured.
Deposit preorderThe deposit is paid first; the remaining balance is posted in the customer profile.
Allocation-dependentQuantity is not guaranteed until distributor allocation is confirmed.
Combined shipmentIn-stock and preorder items may require separate shipping unless the customer agrees to wait.
